Scarborough Sunset Markets Are Back for Another Season

As the warmer months roll on, one of Perth’s most iconic coastal events returns — the Scarborough Sunset Markets are back, bringing food, music and community energy to the beachfront.

Held on Thursday evenings throughout the summer season, the markets transform the Scarborough foreshore into a vibrant meeting place where locals and visitors gather to enjoy the ocean views, golden sunsets and relaxed coastal atmosphere.

A Beachside Experience

Running from 5pm to 9pm, the markets offer a diverse mix of food vendors, artisan stalls and live entertainment. With more than 60 food trucks and traders regularly featured, there’s something to suit every taste — from international street food to local favourites and sweet treats.

The beachfront setting adds to the appeal. Families spread out picnic rugs on the grass, friends catch up over dinner, and visitors take in the unmistakable Perth sunset over the Indian Ocean.

More Than Just Food

Beyond the culinary offerings, the markets showcase local makers and small businesses selling jewellery, clothing, homewares and handmade goods. It’s an opportunity to support local creatives while enjoying a relaxed evening by the coast.

Live acoustic performances help create the laid-back atmosphere the markets are known for, with the Scarborough Amphitheatre often becoming a space for people to unwind and enjoy the evening together.

A Summer Highlight

For many, the Scarborough Sunset Markets have become a weekly ritual during summer — a chance to slow down, connect with community and make the most of Perth’s coastal lifestyle.

Events like these continue to highlight the lifestyle appeal of Perth’s beachside suburbs, combining natural beauty with vibrant community experiences.
